Our Team Philosophy
Growing the best team is at the center of our strategic plan. To be successful in this, we strive to create an inclusive environment and build a sense of belonging by celebrating our differences and ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all of our team members.

Building a Strong Foundation for The Future
Team culture has always been important at Stoneridge Software. Setting a strong foundation for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is important to those efforts. Many companies are realizing the importance DEIB initiatives make in maintaining workplace culture, psychological safety, and retention among employees.

What’s Happening Today:
Stoneridge Academy
Opening the Door for Opportunity
Stoneridge Software hosts a yearly Academy led by our team of experts to provide the training and tools necessary to help participants transition into careers as Microsoft Consultants.
Internal Training
Building a Unified Team
To stay true to our DEIB philosophy, team members participate in intentional training and conversations related to diversity and inclusion. Our team has access to resources covering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, made possible by our partnership with the Moxie Exchange, creators of the Everyday Inclusion App.
Inclusive Benefits
Living Our Core Values
We see each team member as an individual, with a life outside the workplace. Inclusive benefits like generous time off, paid parental leave, employee assistance programs, and professional coaching allow people to live our core value, ‘Enjoy Our Work.’
Partnerships
Aligning Our Relationships
Supporting the communities where we live and work is crucial. We have multiple partnerships that support our passion for technology, with a focus on organizations that support women in STEM, careers in tech for under-resourced populations, and young adults building their skills in software.
Intentional Talent Acquisition
Implementing Inclusive Practices
Each member of our Talent Acquisition team is an AIRS Certified Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter. This designation allows us to implement inclusive training and identify and engage diverse talent.
